What to do if your baby s hearing doesn t seem to be normal

First of all, don't worry too much about your parents, and don't rush to the doctor. First-time parents should not worry, after all, the result of this screening is not necessarily the correct result. Because this screening will be affected by many factors.

For example, whether the surrounding environment is noisy, whether the earbuds are suitable, whether there is earwax in the ear canal, and so on can all be affected.

Bad hearing should be taken seriously, the sooner the intervention is better, go to the hospital to check if the cochlea is normal? If the cochlear is normal, wait for the child to be fitted with a hearing aid after six months** training session, and if the child does not delay in learning the language, the child can speak afterwards.

Hello, infants and young children with abnormal hearing should be diagnosed as soon as possible, and you can go to the hospital for examination. Newborns are screened for hearing by otoacoustic emissions for early detection within three days to one week after birth.

If the newborn fails the first screening, a second screening is required during the 42nd day of the newborn, and if the newborn still fails, brainstem-induced localization is required within three months to diagnose the degree of hearing loss.

Newborns diagnosed with hearing impairment within 6 months do targeted intervention, such as otitis media first, and then after hearing screening, audiologists recommend that children choose hearing aids with full dynamic range compression intelligent processing of Xushan function, severe hearing loss and very severe hearing loss choose cochlear implants, and start hearing and speech guidance training.

In short, if you have a hearing problem, you should intervene immediately, and the sooner you intervene, the better, so that your child can hear the sound as soon as possible and get the same language learning environment as a normal child.

If you want to go to the hospital for a check-up, if your hearing is not good, you need to be fitted with hearing aids or cochlear implants.

The severity and effectiveness of hearing loss in infants and young children depends on the nature and severity of hearing loss.

Conductive hearing loss caused by obstruction of the external auditory canal or congenital malformation of the ossicular chain can be restored by unblocking or surgically reconstructing the sound transmission system; Mild, moderate or even some severe sensorineural hearing loss can be improved by hearing aids, vibrating sound bridges, bone-anchored hearing aids, and bone bridges, depending on the degree; Patients with severe and very severe sensorineural hearing loss without inner ear malformations and retrocochlear lesions can be effectively improved by early cochlear implantation; If the lesion is below the brainstem level, auditory sensation can be improved by auditory brainstem implantation; If there is sensorineural hearing loss in the brain, brainstem lesions and other parts, most of the current no effective methods to restore hearing, sign language training can be adopted.

Neonatal hearing impairment needs to be intervened as soon as possible, otherwise missing the critical period of speech development will have a great impact on speech function. This is also the significance of the widespread implementation of newborn hearing screening.

If you encounter infants and young children with abnormal hearing, seize the time to go to the hospital for examination to see what causes it, detect it early, and return to normal as soon as possible.

Infants and young children with hearing problems should go to a doctor for symptomatic treatment**.

How do you determine if something isn't normal?

1: You need to make sure that your hearing is not normal, and it is recommended to have a check-up.

2: If it is still normal after the examination, the doctor will also give you advice.

3: If it is a congenital abnormality, it cannot be cured, and the acquired abnormality needs to cooperate with the doctor to do physical or pharmacological**.

4: If you are congenitally bad, it is recommended to wear hearing aids as soon as possible, otherwise poor hearing will affect your child's speech.

Baby hearing problems should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible for further examination, to determine the degree of hearing impairment, early **, including language training, the effect will be very good, for the moderate hearing impairment of the baby, must be equipped with appropriate hearing aids, to help them improve the ability to distinguish speech, conducive to normal communication with others.

1. About one-third of the causes of hearing impairment in babies are congenital, and two-thirds are acquired.

2. The main causes of acquired are: use of ototoxic drugs, family history of deafness, asphyxia at birth or delayed neonatal jaundice, history of otitis media, etc. Babies with these factors belong to the high-risk range of hearing abnormalities, and parents should pay special attention.

If the baby has poor hearing, he should go to the hospital for a hearing test, check whether the hearing is transient or hearing loss, and then make some ** plans. Nowadays, hearing technology has been relatively developed, and if you are born with hearing impairment, you can choose to wear hearing aids or have a cochlear transplant.

Be observant and check back regularly.

Generally speaking, the development of infant hearing can be divided into 3 stages. Zero to 4 months is the first stage. Newborns have less sensitive hearing at birth, but they may respond to loud sounds such as blinking, tremor, etc.

After 2 weeks of life, you can concentrate on listening, and at 3 months you will have a directed response. If your baby passes the hearing screening, don't worry. Generally, at 4 months, there will be the ability to listen, when the parent speaks or sings to the baby, the baby will make a laugh or "ah" and "ah" sound to indicate the response.

Between 5 and 8 months of age is the second stage of hearing development, when babies begin to associate language with specific speakers, recognize sounds, and respond differently to different sounds. Between 9 and 12 months is the stage when children fully understand language. Every child's developmental ability is different, as long as the hearing development is normal, mothers do not need to worry too much.

Infants and young children with abnormal hearing should go to a professional hospital for examination and diagnosis, find out**early**, the sooner the better.

Go to a children's hospital for examination and confirm the diagnosis**.

If it is a newborn baby and hearing problems are found during the screening process, mothers do not need to worry, because the newborn baby may have amniotic fluid blockage in the ear. Generally, after the baby spits out the amniotic fluid completely, the hearing will be restored, and before the re-examination, observe the baby's sensitivity to sound. If the baby responds accordingly when there is a sound from the outside world, it means that there is no problem with hearing.

If the response is sluggish or not at all, it is recommended to have a check-up after confinement. At the age of 2, the baby's hearing is not very good, and audiology can be used, and it can be done slowly.
